How to Play a MovieClip Backward via a Button

[rmletc]

Hi all.
I have a movieclip that is a tween. It is a series of scrolling thumbnails
across the bottom. The movie clip runs when I mousover a hidden button. I want
to reverse that movieclip with another button. What is the best way to do that?

Thanks......

something like that :

var OnRun = false;
var Backward = false;

onEnterFrame(){
if ( OnRun ){ // check if the movie is stopped or not
if ( Backward ){
prevframe();
}
else
{
nextframe();
}
}
}

now on buttons

PlayButton.on(press){
OnRun = true;
Backward = false;
}
PlayButton.on(release){
OnRun = false;
}
BackButton.on(press){
OnRun = true;
Backward = true;
}
BackButton.on(release){
OnRun = false;
}

yourButton.onPress = function(){
yourMC.onEnterFrame = function(){
yourMC.prevFrame();
}
}

yourButton.onRelease = function(){
delete yourMC.onEnterFrame;
}

Otherwise place a mirror in front of the monitor and gaze into it ...
